GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 795053
Meson build system requires an "ssh" program, which is not necessary
Last modified: 2018-04-09 08:45:01 UTC
If there is no "ssh" program on the system, meson exits with an error: ---------- Program ssh found: NO daemon/meson.build:258:0: ERROR: Program(s) ['ssh'] not found or not executable ---------- This does not happen when using the autotools. Shouldn't the autotools and the meson build systems have the same behavior? Or at least, there should be an option to disable sftp backend. I looked at bug 794365, but have seen nothing about that.
Thanks for your bug report. The option to disable sftp backend has been pushed recently. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 786149 ***
